Overview

To anyone familiar with EAR/Yoshino products, it will come as no surprise that the Paravicini M100A is no ordinary transistor amplifier. Designed explicitly to provide a ‘valve-like’ sound from transistors, it uses de Paravicini’s unrivalled expertise in audio transformer design to the full, with a unique single-ended output stage coupled to the load through an output transformer.

Being single ended, the M100 naturally operates entirely in Class A, with all that that implies for clarity and purity of sound. High reliability is assured by the use of multiple parallel output transistors, with adequate heatsink area for any climate (no noisy cooling fans), and the essential simplicity of the audio circuit helps with both sonic and reliability aspects. A choke-input power supply gives maximum immunity to mains supply variations and also prevents the amplifier from corrupting the mains supply in turn.

With an output power of 100W the M100 has the ability to drive almost any loudspeakers to symphony-orchestra levels. For the discerning listener, it offers new heights in sonic attainment. Contact your local EAR/Yoshino representative to arrange a demonstration.

About the brand

E.A.R. is the brainchild of Tim de Paravicini, whose name has been associated since the 1970s with electronics of the highest fidelity. De Paravicini's innovative techniques have not only borne fruit in products for E.A.R., but in designs for some of the world's most highly regarded electronics manufacturers. Some of these designs have been continually prized--and sought--by discerning listeners for decades after their introduction.
